Should I Attend This Week’s Job and Internship Fair?

The answer is yes. No matter what year you are in or your major, you can attend the fair to search for internships, jobs, or networking opportunities. Many underclassmen think that attending a job fair won’t benefit them at this point in their college career. Not true—it’s a great way to get your name out there and make connections early.
Updated Vol Tip: Pre-registration is not an option for this year’s Spring Job and Internship Fair.
